The party of Gabon's president Tuesday won the most seats in the first round of the country’s first legislative elections since a 2023 military coup ended a 50-year-old political dynasty.
The Democratic Union of Builders, or UDB, a party founded in July by Gabon's leader Gen. Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema, won 55 of the 145 seats in the National Assembly, according to provisional results released by the Interior Ministry.
